Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump for Vacuum Conveying in Africa
Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump sized for dilute-phase pneumatic vacuum conveying — 200–1,050 m³/hr at 150–500 mbar vacuum — and built for the Africa grid, climate and shipping route.
For vacuum conveying work in Africa, a rotary vane / liquid-ring vacuum pump earns its place by holding 150–500 mbar vacuum reliably — and by being the right machine class for the job rather than an oversized compromise. In vacuum conveying, the rotary vane / liquid-ring vacuum pump carries the dilute-phase pneumatic vacuum conveying load — 200–1,050 m³/hr at 150–500 mbar vacuum is the band most sites land in.
The Africa build is specified for 50 Hz / 380–415 V (3-phase) and ships CIF Mombasa / Durban / Lagos (or FOB Nhava Sheva) via Mombasa. Genset-ready builds for unstable grid power, robust filtration for dust and heat, and an in-house spares pipeline for remote sites. Models such as YELV-650, YELV-1000, YELV-1200 cover this duty; send the exact flow and vacuum and an engineer confirms the YELV-650 or the size next to it.
MDLRecommended models
Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump — the fit for vacuum conveying
Liquid-ring vacuum for wet, vapour-laden or heavy dilute-phase transfer where a dry machine would ingest moisture.
Line length and vertical lift set the vacuum; conveying rate sets the airflow. Deeper vacuum keeps material entrained to the receiver. Indicative only — final selection depends on your exact duty point, altitude and air temperature.

FAQRotary Vane Vacuum Pump for Vacuum Conveying — FAQs
How do you ship a Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump to Africa?
Orders move CIF Mombasa / Durban / Lagos (or FOB Nhava Sheva), routed through Mombasa. Units are palletised and packed in seaworthy, ISPM-15 heat-treated wooden crates and declared under HS heading 8414. Commercial documents, certificate of origin and per-unit test certificates travel with the shipment on request; spares can follow by air freight.
Which Rotary Vane Vacuum Pump model do I need for vacuum conveying in Africa?
For a typical vacuum conveying duty of 200–1,050 m³/hr at 150–500 mbar vacuum, start with YELV-650 and step through YELV-650, YELV-1000, YELV-1200 as the load rises. Line length and vertical lift set the vacuum; conveying rate sets the airflow. Deeper vacuum keeps material entrained to the receiver. Send us your exact flow and vacuum and an engineer confirms the model and quotes it CIF Mombasa / Durban / Lagos (or FOB Nhava Sheva).
